'''Ackland Mall''' is a four-[[block]] [[shopping mall]] in the [[suburb]] of [[Havercroft]] and was the scene of the [[Battle of the Bear Pit]], [[The Ides Of March]], [[Second Siege of Ackland Mall]], [[Black Christmas Siege]] and the most recent [[War of the North West Frontier]]. This is also the only [[shopping mall]] with a Goth [[Clothes]] store. Lastly, this mall is the location of the tomb of [[Ron Burgundy]], leader of men and scourge of Wes Mantooth.

It is the birthplace of the [[LUE|LUE horde]], being the first place to come under the horde's siege (and be subsequently ransacked).

The North-East corner of Ackland Mall contains the [[mobile phone mast]] for the suburb of Havercroft.  It is important to note that of all of the [[Malls]] and [[Forts]], this is the only one with a phone mast.  Thusly, holding the NE corner of the building is of vital importance to humans.  In this respect, only the [[Herman Building]] is similar in being of both strategic and tactical value.

====August 23rd====
At 0200 hours GMT the Dunell Hills Police Department staged a strike on Ackland mall - within a minute, 18 officers and half a dozen assorted allies including 10 Minutes from Hell and AMS had headshotted the remaining 10 zeds standing inside, dumped them and brought the four corners to EHB. The mall is now fully barricaded and powered, and local survivors are encouraged to move in as quickly as possibly to help ensure it stays that way. [[User:Ezekiel UK|Ezekiel UK]] 16:56, 23 August 2008 (BST)
====August 21st====
There are only 3 zombies left inside Ackland Mall. Two corners are ruined, but two have been repaired with some minor barricading. --[[User:Andrei Litvak|Andrei Litvak]] 03:18, 22 August 2008 (BST)
====August 16th====
Ackland Mall is in total ruin. 100+ zombies inside, remaining survivors have been eaten. We've lost Ackland Mall, a valuable resource point in the middle of a danger zone. I'd like to thank all groups for standing against the undead menace. The seige lasted almost a month, 29 days. [[User: Leroy Jankens]] 11:31, 16 August 2008 (USA EST)
====August 15th====
Ackland mall suffered a major attack less than 30 minutes ago. the barricades were down in the southwest corner, which is normal. but the barricades couldn't be repaired quickly enough and thus zombies were oozing into all corners of the mall. Refreshing the page in a period of 5 seconds, the number of zombies in each corner grew by 3-5. Another refresh and there were 3 dead. All quadrants have destroyed generators and transmitters. 2 out of the 4 are still at extremely heavily barricaded, but probably not for long.
I am advising survivors to evacuate soon, I don't think we can hold out for the next few days. As of this edit, 10:00 PM USA EST time, there are 61 zombies inside, not outside, the mall.  [[User: Leroy Jankens]] 15:23, 15 August 2008 (USA EST)
:Today marks the 4th full week of the siege. There has been a considerable amount of resistance since the first day survivors siezed control of Ackland Mall on July 18th, and since then numbers of the zombie horde have reached upwords to 120. Members from the horde seem to be Feral, and recently spotted RRF members. The zombie guest of honor is none other than the creator himself, Kevan with zombie Bub ID #11. Breakins are frequent but survivor response is quick. All survivors are asked to '''ASSIST''' in helping the resistance against the zombie force during this epic battle.  [[User:Tarabon|Tarabon]] 16:02, 15 August 2008 (EST)
====August 14<sup>th</sup>====
The size of the horde outside Ackland Mall continues to grow. Thus far survivors inside still outnumber the undead, though casualties are becoming more frequent as the zombified foe take advantage of coordinated attacks on the barricades. Various death cultist activities have also been noted, possibly in support of the siege. The Dunell Hills Police Department has joined the fray upon request from allies, and have also made contact with other friendly groups to swell the ranks of  the defenders. Sketchy reports that 'Bub Sherman' has been sighted nearby in the horde are currently unverified, but not unlikely... [[User:Ezekiel UK|Ezekiel UK]] 15:39, 14 August 2008 (BST)
====August 13<sup>th</sup>====
Exactly  1 hour and 1 minute ago we received a distress call over a metagame medium alerting to a zombie break-in in spacial grid 32, 45, Ackland Mall Southwest Corner.  Activating ourselves, we began to follow emergency combat revive procedures; these were ineffective, with limited AP.  16 zombies were inside, the number slowly growing and cades becoming impossible.  The number of zombies totaled almost 100 outside and they are seeping inside.  <zom>It's not going to be a skipper day for us all, wot wot, put away the kettle and bring out the weapons, looks like these ruffians have brought some friends from the south side of town.  I say we give them whats-for, but I have a feeling they're going to be giving <i>us</i> a run for money.  Straighten out your top hats, gents (available in the goth store, Southeast corner) and let's put on a good show!</zom>.
Recent reports from our allies indicate there are 99 dead bodies outside, with a large percentage recognized as allies in the Ackland Mall defense coalition.  End report. [[User:AnonBorgTech001|AnonBorgTech001]] 18:33, 13 August 2008 (BST)
====August 12<sup>th</sup>====
It was an average morning at Ackland Mall. [[Axes High|Axes High]] were at the mall hardware shop sharpening their blades, [[Crimson Clan|Crimson Clan]] were at the pizza parlor debating tatics and [[/zom/|/zom/]] were enjoying glasses of scotch around the tomb of [[Ron Burgundy|Ron Burgundy]]. Everything seemed fine and dandy until around 10:00 AM (PST)
Local [[Ackland Mall Security|AMS]] member [[User:Tarumigan|Tarumigan Gistarai]] was patroling the South West side of the mall when he heard some suspicious noises from the barricades. He was in shock as the sound of breaking wood echoed throughout Ackland mall and several zombies simoutaneously burst inside. Quickly he barked over his radio, "We need reinforcements at the SW of the mall now!. It seems some zed's have gotten smart and are using X:00 tactics, looks like members from the [[RRF|The Ridleybank Resistance Front]]." The game was afoot and the survivors sprung into action. It was a glorious battle as the survivors fought dearly for their mall and lives. Axes were swung, shotguns were unloaded, tophats were bloodied and [[User:Speels|Speels]] stabbed a guy with a trident! In the aftermath among the many zombie and human corpses, Ackland stood strong. The barricades were brought back to full and the wounded tended to.

====August 1<sup>st</sup>====
It's the dawn of a new month, and the Ackland survivors are still holding the mall strong and sturdy against a horde of over a hundred. All mall quads lit and EHB most of the time, likewise for its adjacent buildings. --[[User:Aeon17x|Aeon17x]] 13:12, 1 August 2008 (BST)
:Less than 80 zombies outside the SW quad now. Break-ins are becoming a less frequent occurrence, as a newly sprayed message appeared on the walls outside the targeted quad saying "CHANGE OF PLAN: Go to Tompson mall - The Dead". --[[User:Aeon17x|Aeon17x]] 04:47, 2 August 2008 (BST)

====July 24<sup>th</sup>====
There are around 65 zeds in the SW corner of Ackland Mall, when I was there today. The lights are still on. Some of the surrounding buildings are ruined, with a few zombies wondering around. I am unsure of the conditions inside. -- [[User:Samiam112|Samiam112]] 10:23 (GMT), 24 2008
====July 10<sup>th</sup>====
There are 29 zeds inside the NE corner of Ackland Mall, according to [[User:Barney Hellfax|this fellow]]. He encourages his comrades with allegiance to the undead to feast heartily upon the gray matter of those inside who consider breathing oxygen integral to their continued survival.--10:16, 10 July 2008 (BST)
:As of now, only the SW Corner remains standing. -- [[User:Mordac the Refuser|Mordac the Refuser]] 16:16, 10 July 2008 (BST)
::The mall is completely ruined thanks to the [[Ridleybank Resistance Front]] and many other of my fellow undead comrades. The whole building will be ruined within the hour or so...This is a bad day for survivors and a good day for those zombas that feasted upon the bra!nz of those tasty survivors that were helpless against the oncoming horde. I ate heavily and so did many other of my fellow comrades. VIVA LA ZOMBAS! --[[User:Barney Hellfax|Barney Hellfax]] 18:53, 10 July 2008 (BST)
::::The whole mall is now officially ruined. -- [[User:Mordac the Refuser|Mordac the Refuser]] 19:31, 10 July 2008 (BST)
====July 8<sup>th</sup>====
Mall shoppers are warned that 60+ zombies have gathered outside the barricades. While no official action has been taken, survivors might like to stock up on syringes for a fight, or get ready to evacuate the suburb. Zombies might want to get ready for a meal, or get ready to chase some fast food. --[[User:Russell Oakley|Russell Oakley]] 01:43, 9 July 2008 (BST)

Ackland Mall is announced as the venue of this year's [[Punk Fest 2008|Punk Fest]]. --[[User:HighlandZHunter|HighlandZHunter]] 14:39, 3 July 2008 (BST)

Lights are out inside the mall, courtesy of what looks like zombie spies. Considering that the surrounding area is crawling with the undead and that attacks on barricades have resumed, it seems that Ackland may be in for another fight.

====June 10<sup>th</sup>====
"Fight for our home, yo!" might become the ironic and humorous commentary of this battle (it was spraypainted on one of the walls inside Ackland Mall by a survivor refusing to retreat). The effort by AMS and the Crimson Clan to evacuate the Mall failed miserably despite the fact that the Mallgoers had two full days to make good an escape to a more defensible position. Confusion was spread on the radio waves by death-cultists and by survivors who simply had no idea what a [[LUE]] assault is like. In the end, the majority remained obediently in mall and were eaten as they slept. The battle was over before it had even begun. [[User:Tarumigan|Tarumigan]] 2:06, 10 June 2008 (EST)
*At 2:49 P.M. EST, the final survivor in Ackland fell to the [[LUE]] horde, bringing the mall completely into their hands.  Not long later, the final quadrant was ruined.  [[User:JoJoTrue|JoJoTrue]] 20:15, 10 June 2008 (BST)

[[LUE]] has arrived, ruining the NW quad of Ackland in about ten minutes. The sweet smell of barhah fills the air. Or maybe that's just my air freshener.--[[User:Panthera|Panthera]] 01:31, 10 June 2008 (BST)
:The majority of Ackland's population failed to heed the evacuation warnings posted two days ago and have paid with their lives.--[[User:Tarumigan|Tarumigan]] 08:39, 10 June 2008 (BST)
====June 08<sup>th</sup>====
There are reports of LUE zombies attacking Auston Auto Repair. If the reports are true looks like the first of the are starting to arrive. Anyone wishing to evacuate may need to get a move on.--[[User:Doctor Oberman|Doctor Oberman]] 15:49, 9 June 2008 (BST)

Hello to you too.--[[User:Doctor Oberman|Doctor Oberman]] 01:28, 10 June 2008 (BST)
====June 07<sup>th</sup>====
Ackland Mall Security confirms the evacuation order for Ackland Mall and all surrounding structures. We take this action in light of the sudden and catastrophic destruction of Caiger Mall in the north by the LUE zombie horde. AMS and allied detachments are already in motion to secure a secure place to bunker down. Evacuate to Pittman NT in Shore Hills as dictated on the radio.
[[User:Tarumigan|Tarumigan]]
::Also a note to anyone listening to radio broadcasts. DO NOT listen to anyone telling you to stay and defend the mall. They are attempting to sabotage our best chance at fighting LUE. Just get to Pittman immediately and restock from the nearby resoruce buildings around it. LUE could be here today or tomorrow.--[[User:Doctor Oberman|Doctor Oberman]] 16:12, 8 June 2008 (BST)
:::Unfortunately, some of the broadcasts asking the residents not to leave are coming from zombie deathcultists. One made just such a broadcast right in front of me and was affiliated with the Undeadites. Others are being made by trenchcoaters who appear to have never fought LUE before. It seems to have worked. Virtually no humans appear to have evacuated the Mall. If LUE strikes Ackland, there will be a massive slaughter. We'd like to remind those who are currently taking potshots at AMS and other groups that we didn't call an evacuation on a whim. LUE took out Caiger Mall in a single lightning strike. They ARE in our neighborhood, and if some survivors believe they can fight a good defense from a four-room building against a two-hundred strong zombie horde that attacks as one group, then they're welcome to show the world how the big boys do battle. I won't hold my breath. --[[User:Tarumigan|Tarumigan]] 12:25, 9 June 2008 (EST)

Drawn by Ron Burgundy's latest Cunning Plan, the forces of humanity have arrived at Ackland in glory and power for an amazing show of class.

Don't think it will be safe for long, tried to cade with now luck and even killed a zed. The malls got like 5 or more zeds inside; I could be held if the kids who run the place get home from school in time to save it.

It's actually kind of intriguing. I know for a fact that other Malls have larger populations and present better targets. Some of them are relatively close to us.

Basic Info:

  • Malls are an excellent place to find a wide range of items; the only major items that cannot be found here are revivification syringes and fuel cans. As such, Malls are frequently used as safehouses and fortresses by survivors. Zombies often check inside (when they can get in), and organized zombie groups sometimes lay siege to them. They are listed as a Tactical Resource Point.

Ackland Mall is a four-block shopping mall in the suburb of Havercroft and was the scene of the Battle of the Bear Pit, The Ides Of March, Second Siege of Ackland Mall, Black Christmas Siege and the most recent War of the North West Frontier. It is the birthplace of the LUE horde, being the first place to come under the horde's siege (and be subsequently ransacked). This is also the only shopping mall with a Goth Clothes store. Lastly, this mall is the location of the tomb of Ron Burgundy, leader of men and scourge of Wes Mantooth.

Nearby NecroTech Buildings

There are no NecroTech Buildings in Havercroft, nor are there any in the neighboring suburb of Lerwill Heights.

The NecroTech Buildings within ten blocks of the mall, listed from nearest to farthest, are:

  1. The Stagg Building in Lukinswood (26, 47; distance 6-7 W, 2-3 S)
  2. The Nix Building in Barrville (40, 43; distance 7-8 E, 1-2 N)
  3. The Brennand Building in Shore Hills (30, 52; distance 2-3 W, 8-9 S)
  4. The Daubeney Building in East Becktown (26, 35; distance 6-7 W, 9-10 N)
  5. The Eagan Building in Barrville (43, 46; distance 10-11 E, 1-2 S)

Communication

The radio frequency for Ackland Mall is 27.50 MHz.

The North-East corner of Ackland Mall contains the mobile phone mast for the suburb of Havercroft. It is important to note that of all of the Malls and Forts, this is the only one with a phone mast. Thusly, holding the NE corner of the building is of vital importance to humans. In this respect, only the Herman Building is similar in being of both strategic and tactical value.

Sadly, this tactical advice was invalidated with the large buildings update making malls one building 2x2 large and internal defense is nearly impossible.

To update the mast status, please update the Ackland Mall Danger Report and alter the mast_status line based on the condition of the North-East corner of the mall.
